MK1 focus, can't find plug leads that fit!?

I need a set of plug leads for a 1.6 mk1 2003 focus (petrol) engine code FYDB. I've bought two sets from ffyfes and both sets were too long so they didn't seal against the opening in the cam cover, they just flopped around. So I then tried a set from Bosch (0 986 357 208) which is listed as suitable for the car, 1 plug was shorter than the rest, the 3 long ones were 10mm too long (105mm against 95mm) and the short one was perfect.  Can anyone direct me to a reliable make that will be the correct length? it's bizarre to have so many problems finding such a common part for a common car.

    I did and it finally solved my problem but only after replacing the fuel filter, battery, coil pack, air filter, crankcase vent pipe and cleaning the injectors......
